PTSA Membership Guidelines for the 2012-2013 school year… The Simpson PTSA has done away with the “package” concept to simplify the membership process. There are separate line items for donations and memberships, and you can purchase a calendar and/or a directory as well on the form. A registration form is found below for your review. You can download the form from the website and put it in the gold PTSA box in the front office and we will process your form quickly.

The PTSA programs run solely on donations, so we do kindly ask a $25 donation per child in lieu of fundraising throughout the year.

We suggest at least one PTA membership per household if you would like to vote on issues that pertain to the PTSA (budget, projects, officer positions, etc.) during the year, but otherwise we don’t require each student or parent to have a membership.

Thank you, in advance, for your donations and your support of the Simpson PTSA.
